Web-blocking

So a week in to the General Election campaign, and finally the Internet has been noticed by one of the big old parties.

It wasn't a mention of the benefit the web brings to our economy, not to open up access to technology, not to put actual figures on the vague promises in George Osborne's budget on digital infrastructure.

No, it was screaming tabloid headlines and a promise from the Tories to bring in web blocking powers, Internet regulation and what amounts to electronic ID cards.

Open Source

This site was built and is provided using open source software. It wouldn't be here without the work of millions of volunteers who contribute to these projects, xwolf, whose theme we modified, and our IT team who build and manage our systems. We use GNU/Linux, Debian, Nginx, Drupal and many other open source tools to do what we do. We provide HTTPS using Let's Encrypt.
